It doesn’t matter who wins, who loses

We can only play the game.

The hammer falls wherever it chooses

Leaves us to apportion blame


We cannot control the dawning day

Or shelter from the storm

We’re dealt the cards we have to play

From the day that we are born


Sometimes we stumble, often we fall

Sometimes we just turn away from it all

The sun keeps on shining or the rains just as wet

Life is as good as it’s going to get


Wish upon a shooting star, or in a wishing well

Pray to an uncaring God, seek a private hell

Cry out for all you’ve lost, for what you never had

For all that makes you happy can also make you sad


Sometimes we stumble, often we fall

Sometimes we find courage to face up to it all

So let the rain keep on falling or the sun shine

The past is just history, the future is mine
